Emily - DIY softbox test
In an effort to play with my new trigger and softbox, I ran around my office like a madman accosting co-workers at their desks with this big white box and my camera.
Luckily my co-workers are really good-natured, and usually met my obnoxiousness with light hearted smiles and a ton of patience. Emily even had me re-take her photo because she wanted to get her hair out of her face.
I didn't have the first internal diffuser in the softbox, which I think would have softened up the shadows quite a bit more.
strobist info: FL-14 on full power through a 20" softbox camera left, about 20" from her face.
f/16 1/250
Curve adjustments for exposure, then wavelet decompose for skin retouching, removed some of the red, and some slight color grading from there.
